Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of valve technology, and relates to an emergency shut-off valve, particularly an emergency shut-off valve for liquefied petroleum gas cylinders. Background Technology
[0002] An emergency shut-off valve is a safety device that can quickly close in emergency situations (such as fire, leakage, pipeline rupture, etc.) to prevent the large-scale release of hazardous materials into the environment. It is widely used in liquefied petroleum gas, natural gas, hazardous chemical storage tanks, storage and transportation equipment, and pipelines, and is a crucial piece of equipment for ensuring production safety.
[0003] Traditional emergency shut-off valves for liquefied petroleum gas cylinders rely on sealing rings and dynamic sealing structures for the valve stem, which are prone to leakage and jamming due to prolonged inactivity. Furthermore, existing emergency shut-off valves for liquefied petroleum gas cylinders do not have overcurrent shut-off functionality. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by providing an emergency shut-off valve for liquefied petroleum gas cylinders.
[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: an emergency shut-off valve for liquefied petroleum gas cylinders, characterized in that it includes a valve body assembly and a handwheel assembly, the valve body assembly and the handwheel assembly are connected by threads, the valve body assembly has an upper port and a lower port arranged vertically, the upper port is connected to a reset unit by threads, the lower port is connected to an electromagnetic unit by threads, the valve body assembly is provided with a valve seat unit, and the valve seat unit, the reset unit and the electromagnetic unit are all located on the same center line.
[0006] In the aforementioned emergency shut-off valve for liquefied petroleum gas cylinders, the valve seat unit comprises a valve seat having an inlet and an outlet. A fixed plate with a central through-hole is disposed within the valve seat. A plastic sealing frame is installed at the bottom of the fixed plate. The plastic sealing frame is composed of multiple independent supports, each of which forms an opening at the bottom of the through-hole in the fixed plate. A steel ball is installed within this opening to seal the through-hole in the fixed plate. A sealing gasket with a central through-hole is disposed between the fixed plate and the plastic sealing frame.
[0007] In the aforementioned emergency shut-off valve for liquefied petroleum gas cylinders, the electromagnetic unit is equipped with an electromagnetic base connected to the valve body assembly. The electromagnetic base has an internal movable channel containing a moving iron core. The top of the moving iron core has a push rod for pushing a steel ball, and the bottom of the moving iron core has an installation groove containing a spring. A stationary iron core is located at the bottom of the spring. A magnet is installed at the bottom of the movable channel. The stationary iron core and the magnet abut against each other, and the magnet attracts the moving iron core, thus fixing it in place. The outer wall of the electromagnetic base is equipped with a frame, a coil, a coil encapsulation body, and a coil shell. The coil encapsulation body is used to encapsulate and protect the coil. One end of the coil encapsulation body has an outlet for installing a cable, allowing the cable to be installed and powering the coil. The bottom of the electromagnetic base has a nut for fixing the coil shell.
[0008] In the aforementioned emergency shut-off valve for liquefied petroleum gas cylinders, the reset unit is equipped with a reset seat connected to the valve body assembly. The reset seat contains a reset pin for pushing a steel ball. The reset pin's function is to push the steel ball to achieve the reset operation of opening the relevant components of the valve body. The reset seat has a limiting washer with a through hole. The reset pin is sleeved on the limiting washer and extends outward. A reset spring is sleeved above the reset pin on the limiting plate. The reset spring provides elastic restoring force for the reset pin's reset action. A reset cap is threaded to the top of the reset spring. Pressing the reset cap causes the reset rod to push the steel ball downward.
[0009] In the aforementioned emergency shut-off valve for liquefied petroleum gas cylinders, a first sealing ring for sealing and preventing leakage is sleeved between the electromagnetic seat and the valve body assembly; a second sealing ring for sealing and preventing leakage is sleeved between the reset seat and the valve body assembly; and a double-layer sealing ring for sealing is sleeved between the valve seat and the valve body assembly.
[0010] In the aforementioned emergency shut-off valve for liquefied petroleum gas cylinders, one end of the valve body assembly is provided with a gas outlet for connecting to a pipeline.
[0011] Working principle: When the valve body is in normal condition, pressing the reset cap of the reset unit moves the reset pin downwards. The reset pin pushes the steel ball blocking the through hole of the fixed plate, which slides downwards to open the through hole, allowing gas to flow normally. The steel ball slides downwards and abuts against the push rod of the moving iron core, causing the moving iron core to move downwards. Under the attraction of the magnet, the magnet generates an attraction force on the stationary iron core, fixing the stationary iron core at the bottom of the moving channel. The moving iron core is connected to the stationary iron core by a spring, and the moving iron core also remains fixed. In case of an emergency requiring the gas supply to be cut off, the coil is powered by a cable. After the coil is energized, it generates a magnetic field. This magnetic field interacts with the magnetic field of the magnet, changing the attraction force of the magnet on the moving iron core. Under the elastic force of the spring, the moving iron core begins to move upwards. The push rod at its top moves upwards and pushes the steel ball upwards to the fixed plate to block the through hole, cutting off the flow channel, thereby achieving the purpose of emergency cut-off of liquefied petroleum gas supply.
[0012] Compared with existing technologies, this liquefied petroleum gas cylinder emergency shut-off valve, through an electromagnetic unit, can quickly generate a magnetic field after being energized, causing the moving iron core to move rapidly and push the steel ball to cut off the gas passage. It has a short response time and meets the requirements of a shut-off valve device under high pressure, enabling timely cut-off of the gas source in emergencies, realizing the valve body's emergency shut-off function, and reducing the risk of valve stem jamming. The moving iron core does not need to cooperate with the sealing ring, eliminating the risk of gas leakage in the overall structure. The stainless steel ball and sealing gasket provide a better sealing effect. When the hose at the rear of the shut-off valve detaches, causing overflow, the internally installed steel ball will move towards the through hole under the driving force of the gas, thus achieving the function of cutting off the overflow.
